PHOENIX
–
Self-funding millionaire Senate candidate Wil Cardon talks tough on TV about
illegal immigration and touts himself as a hands-on, job-creating businessman,
but he hasn’t talked about U.S.Immigration and Customs
Enforcement (ICE) busting his
business, which employed more than 150 illegal workers, as theArizona
Republic
reported last
week.

A new
television ad from the Flake campaign begins airing today throughout the state
on broadcast and cable contrasting Cardon’s tough campaign talk against
employers who break the law with the massive number of illegal aliens at his
business, as uncovered by the ICE investigation. Click the image below or

In 2008,
ICE opened an investigation into Wil Cardon’s business, RCC Partners, for
illegal employment practices at ten Phoenix-area Subway sandwich shops it
operates. ICE conducted a Form I-9 audit to verify compliance with employee
hiring requirements. Employers must complete and submit Form I-9 for all new
hires, verifying that each new employeeis authorized to work in
the United States.

As the Republic reported, “Investigators for ICE
reported that nearly half of the 315
employees at some Subway restaurants owned by RCC Partners were believed to be
‘undocumented alien workers.’ Investigators also reported that their
employer failed to comply with federal
employment-eligibility paperwork.”In fact, ICE’s verification of
alien registration numbers, Social Security numbers, and driver’s license
numbers listed in Section 2 of Form I-9’s resulted in the determination
that 30 of the 49current
employees (61.2%) that RCC Partners
hired, and 121 of the 269 former
employees (47.5%), were “undocumented
alien workers”who were “not authorized for employment.”

Wil Cardon
portrays himself as a hands-on job-creator who is tough on illegal immigration
and supports penalties – even jail time – for employers who break the law. He
routinely cites his Subway business on the campaign trail and has even filmed a
campaign commercial inside one of the stores.

“It’s
stunning to discover that a guy who talks so tough and loud against illegal
immigration and punishing employers who hire illegal workers has, in fact, been
involved with a business that violated U.S. immigration law,”said
Andrew Wilder, communications director for the Flake campaign.

The new ad
debuting today features Wil Cardon earlier this year at the Lincoln Republican
Women’s Club moralizing about holding accountable employers who hire illegal
aliens. At the event, Cardon said: “…The fourth thing we need to do is to make
sure the employers that are breaking the law here understand that they will be
held accountable as well.We cannot let
people break the law…this is an issue of the law, and so we need to hold
everyone accountable to that.”
